Item description from seller

Quarto. xv, 95pp., 28 plates. Original full calf with blind-stamped ruling, gilt decor and publishers device on cover, gilt lettering and publisher's device on spine; raised bands. Gilt top edge. Marbled endpapers. Frontispiece tipped to heavy, dark gray paper plate. "The twenty-eight water-colour drawings reproduced in this volume have been made from specimens of porcelain in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, many of which have never been published before, while others have not hitherto been reproduced in colours. The selection has been made not merely of those pieces in their several classes which have a high sale-room value; due consideration has been given to those which by their aesthetic qualities appealed to the sympathies of the artists, while at the same time an effort has been made to include objects having some particular historical or personal interest, or important as documents in the history of ceramics. Contains list of plates and index. Laid in a postmarked envelope with order confirmation from The Ceramic Book Company. Some wear of binding, 3/4" closed tear at head of front joint, back joint with three inch crack, and generally some scuffing and light chipping along edges of binding.
